Spanish chefs Omar Allibhoy and Jose Pizarro know their olives. I’m a huge fan of the cooking of both, and they are both warm and charming gentlemen to boot.

So it’s with pleasure that I accepted the offer of 25, yes that’s right, 25 prizes of a recipe book featuring their recipes and some delicious olives with which to make them.

The Olive It! book offers a collection of over 40 recipes for marinades, tapenades and tapas that are suitable for all seasons. There are classic traditional recipes passed down through generations and recipes given a contemporary twist. Try green olives with figs, orange and bay or black olives with wasabi, ginger and smoked salmon, just two of the appealing combinations suggested.

The book also includes information about different types of olive available, the history of the fruit and health benefits associated with olives.

I tried a recipe for New years eve that involved breading queen olives with panko, deep frying them and serving them with a roasted red pepper sauce. I think it’s the best thing I’ve cooked with them so far. I also like eating them dipped in hot sauce which is much less involved,
